Scalable Pulsed L Band Amplifier Family has an expandable system hardware architecture designed to save you money- "
you buy only the power you need today" and add power amplifier blocks later when your application requires more output
power. In addition to scalability, this amplifier offers an inherently rugged design and is based on our patented NEXT
GENERATION architecture that virtually eliminates every internal connector found in the industries typical RF/Microwave amplifier system.

RF Globalnet is the Internet's leading source of cutting-edge technical information for the RF/microwave design community.

Top Amplifiers of the Year 2015 by Everything RF

Empower Model SKU 2180 (2kW Solid State Power Amplifier from 1 to 2.5 GHz in 8U chassis) has been named the Top Amplifiers of the
Year 2015 by Everything RF. At 2KW CW this amplifier is ideal for Military and Aerospace EMC testing as well as pulsed HIRF tests for
the automotive market. This amplifier provides excellent performance and because of its high power density and small footprint its ideal
for test and measurement, electronic warfare, and communication applications as well.

We want to congratulate our engineering team for achieving this award and thank Everything RF for their commitment to advancing
engineering knowledge within the RF industry.

Patent Approval "Combiner for an RF Power Amplifier

Second patent awarded this year to Empower RF Systems which is directly related to our next generation power amplifier product line.

Microwaves & RF Article: Power-Amplifier Systems Get Smarter

The following is an article written by Jean-Jacques DeLisle, Microwave and RF Technical Editor where Jon Jacocks (CEO) and Paulo Correa
(Chief Technology Officer) are providing comments regarding new technologies, techniques and other factors that are influencing the evolution
of High Power Solid State Amplifiers.

"RF/microwave power-amplifier systems traditionally have been chosen based on their SWaP-C characteristics.
But recently, factors like intelligent features are being added to the mix."

Empower RF Systems is proud to announce the approval of a patent on "Broadband linearization module and method"

This patent relates to a real time pre-distortion design and technique that is essential for broadband frequency hopping, which is
especially critical for military radio communication. The main advantage of the new linearization approach is that pre-correction is
being synchronized with the amplifier's distortion components in frequency, time and temperature.

EverythingRF rated Empower's Model 2162 as #3 of the 15 Most Popular Amplifiers in 2013
